Renamed Lakshadweep in 1973, the archipelago consists of 36 coral islands in the Arabian Sea, about 185 miles (300 km) off the Kerala coast. The Thirty two sq. km of land surrounded by 4200 sq. km of lagoon is rich in marine wealth. The precious heritage of ecology and culture is supported by an extremely fragile ecosystem.
The islands form the smallest of the Union Territories of India and the country's only coral islands. This charming isolated destination has only 10 of its islands inhabited. The Jewel of the Lakshadweep, Bangaram Island is an uninhabited haven and is considered to be one of the top 10 hidden beaches of the world. Here, the only residents are the resort staff. Bangaram presents a breathtaking spectacle of sparkling coral reefs, turquoise blue lagoons, silvery beaches and lush green coconut palms. The deep, warm, clear waters of Indian Ocean with its myriad flora and fauna are an irresistible invitation to the scuba diving fraternity of the world.
